* A Chinese version of the story:
周宗禎, 北京雜技團員 為愛甘在台跑場. 聯合報, July 31, 2009.
http://udn.com/NEWS/MAINLAND/MAI1/5050118.shtml
(惲喬圳 and 李淑貞)

Note: The last tense of the 聯合報 report is "李淑貞說：「這個尪是正港ㄟ台灣子婿。」" It is Taiwanese language.
(a) 尪 (pronouonced as "ang": like "aunt" with "t"): husband
(b) ㄟ (pronouonced as "ei"; 注音符號): 的
(c) 子婿: son-in-law

My comment:
(a) When he worked illegally, it was natural that many Taiwanese were hostile. The same in US.
(b) It is harder for a couple to go through hardship together than an easy life. That is why people were moved by the 2001 film A Beautiful Mind. See
